From this page, there are different ways of saving a bookmark depending on your browser, but all of them allow you to send the page to your device’s home screen for quick one-touch access.
IMPORTANT NOTE!If you leave your device web browser after using Paragon Connect and then tap the homepage icon again, this will open a new tab in the web browser and you may be required to authenticate once again. To avoid this, return to your existing web browser to use Paragon Connect once again. If it is still within your two hour session, it will still be logged in and on same page you were last on.The homepage link works just like a bookmark you would save to your desktop. If you use the desktop link to open Paragon and go check your email, to return you would click on your browser to get back to Paragon. |
